This paper deals with the automatic detection of slight parameter changes from the analysis of signals generated by nonlinear biological systems. The interest is focused here on investigating particular aspects of the relation between signal analysis and systems dynamics, involving the automatic...

We consider the problem of control for continuous time stochastic hybrid systems in finite time horizon. The systems considered are nonlinear: the state evolution is a nonlinear function of both the control and the state. The control parameters change at discrete times according to an underlying...

The quality of energy has been defined to control harmonics caused by non-linear loads and international standards were brought to overcome the harmonic related problems. In determining the power quality, parameters like current-voltage harmonic, transient, flicker, current and voltage imbalance...

In the present scenario of all over the world like develops and undeveloped countries are fastly used Distributed Generations (DGs) and Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) controllers in power systems for reactive power supports so that the overall power system performances...

The electric utility industry is immersed in a changing environment and deregulation is a key pressure driving this change. Careful strategic planning for what their future business will be is called for and there are concerns for the basis on which they will be competitive. Embedded in this...

This paper explores the potential of utility-scale PV power, and, specifically, the opportunity that may arise for concentrating photovoltaics (CPV). In the 1990s, sales of PV modules were dominated by small-size applications such as PV-powered water pumping, emergency telephones, and...

This paper describes a proposal to use an implementation of client-server technology on the Internet for simulating a number of aspects of electric power production, distribution, and consumption within a wholly new regulatory, financing, operating, and control environment. This approach would...

Peak power demand issues have come to the fore recently because of the California electricity crisis. Uncertainties surrounding the reliability of electric power systems in restructured markets as well as security worries are the latest reasons for such concerns, but the issues surrounding peak...

The purpose of this Study is to establish the level of revenues from wholesale power rates necessary to recover, in accordance with sound business principles, the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) costs associated with the production, acquisition, marketing, and conservation of...

There are numerous conditions of the generation system that may ultimately develop into system states affecting system reliability and security. Such generation system conditions should also be considered when evaluating the potential impacts on system operations. The following five issues have...
